The Last One Left

There's tears in his eyes,
As he reads the list of names,
He holds a hat to his heart,
And saluets the fallen before.

His badge he still holds,
The uniform he still wears with pride,
He's the only left now,
The only one who still remembers,
The smoke,
The screams,
The hell of that day,
The hours American seems to have forgot,
He's the last one left.
